Scared of MRI scan results..

Hi,

I have been struggling with headaches for 3/4 months now. They feel like someone is crushing on my head constantly. They have only been getting worse and it's becoming impossible for me to take care of my son meaning my partner taking time off work. I have been to the doctors 4/5 times now whilst I have been waiting for the MRI scan which is coming on Tuesday just to get different pain relief and to have my BP checked etc. At the beginning they didn't think there were any cause for concerns and it was just tension headaches caused through stress/anxiety. But I had nothing to stress about at the time. So I didn't think this was the cause. Now I am spending everyday getting so scared about the MRI results coming back with a brain tumour. The doctor said she couldn't tell me she doesn't think tht is what it is which has scared me even more. My anxiety has gone through the roof. Has anyone else suffered with this? How do you keep calm about a scan and then the results... 

  • Hi hun, 

    i had a CT scan today and have MRI scan next week, I had a lump removed from my cervix and they think it is cancer but I still don't t really know anything for sure. They need to do more test on the biopsy to see what cancer it is. 
     

    I am absolutely petrified and getting through each hour of the day is exhausting , i feel like I am Living a nightmare so I completely know where you are coming from. 
     

    I did get some rescue remedy and it does seem to take the edge off when I get overwhelmed which happens a lot in the day. 
     

    The waiting is awful and your mind just thinks the worst. It's seem inhuman all the waiting, it really does. Since finding my lump and having it removed I am now on week 5 of getting some definite results and I can't take much more. 
     You are not alone x

    try the rescue remedy and the sleeping apps. I listened to one last night and managed to get a few hours.
